New Leaderboard Now Live!

Map Editors Community Official Announcements

Hi,

:tada: EXCITING NEWS HERE :tada:

Background
Earlier this year, we removed the leaderboard from the app, to make way for the new gamification system that’s still under way.
Before removing it, we consulted with community leaders who shared that the leaderboard is a loved feature, and we should place it in a different home.
Today, we’re excited to share that after a lot of work, the new leaderboard is live!

Where can I find it?
https://waze.com/leaderboard :tada:
Correction: the Account page’s left side menu now has a button leading to this page!

More about the Leaderboard

  • See the top-500 all time users for any location or globally!

  • When you open the page, you should see your location’s leaderboard, by default

  • Your location = where you drove most in the past 30 days

  • Every visitor should appear in 2 leaderboards:

  • Global

  • One local board

  • The page is and will remain protected by username and password, so only registered users can access it

  • All visitors see a top section, with their username, mood, points and rank:

  • When opening a local board where you’re not ranked (you don’t drive there), the top section with your personal information will not show up
  • Your rank is adjusted based on the location you choose - local / global

Included / excluded users and local boards

  • Including and excluding users from the boards: Some users are excluded from the boards, following your requests on the previous Leaderboards - please let me know, in private, of any comments around this.
  • “Sticky” local boards: In the past, ~800 users asked to always show up in a specific location’s board (be “stuck” there), regardless of where they drive. These “sticky” locations are copied to the new leaderboard, for users who have logged in recently. Please let me know if you’d like your location to be “stuck” to a certain board.

Known issue
Your own points are shown in real-time, while other people’s points are not and may be up to 24 hours old - this isn’t expected to change.

We hope you’re as excited as we are :tada:

Thanks and have a great day,
Anat, on behalf of the team.

Hey,

A fun new addition was added to the Leaderboard:
Any user, even those ranked +500, can now see their rank on the table, at the bottom: Leaderboard all ranks.png

We’re working on a few more fun additions and hope you like it!

Thanks and have a great day.

Hey friends,

Please note that going forward, the right place to submit Leaderboard requests, is through the bug form in Waze Discuss for Beta.
We added a new bug type to support this, it’s called “Leaderboard”:87ENxnzjxPY9F8T.png
If you’d like to ask to be added / removed from the leaderboard, you’re showing on the wrong local leaderboard, or have a feature request in mind, please submit it through the Bug form.

Thanks and have a great day!

Hey friends,

A fun improvement to our web-based Leaderboard is now live:

Weekly and Monthly time slicers for all boards!

We hope you’ll put these to good use :slightly_smiling_face:Screenshot 2024-06-21 at 11.41.19.png

Let us know if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Nataliia, on behalf of the Communities team.
